G8 was after a new bag and while she was at a dance session with her best friend I was sent off on a mission to look for one for her. What a responsibility. Well I trawled through the shops in Narberth (the loveliest shopping place for gifts and quirky items). It was a tough job but someone had to do it.
I didn't find one, I found two! A matching pair. I just couldn't resist one for myself. The one I spotted for G8 was PINK, great. Sold. I asked the sales assistant if it could be returned - although I was pretty certain G8 would love it you can never be sure. And crucially it would be coming out of her own savings, I'm a great believer of children learning the value of money and understanding that unfortunately it doesn't grow on trees.
The bag cost £20.00 in round figures. I told G8 it would cost her £15.00 of her hard earned pocket money (she'd lent us £5.00 to buy ice creams earlier in the week). When G8 decided to keep it she went to remove the labels and she noticed the price of £19.99 and insisted I still owed her £5.00. She'll make a great politician.
